  • Bellisimo!

  • I love her!

  • pracht vrouw

  • ACABO DE ESCUCHAR A LUCIA POPP, ESTA MISMA ARIA E RUSALKA, LA DISTANCIA EN CUANTO A CANTO ES SIDERA , A FAVOR DE LA MARAVILLOSA LUCIA, UNA DE LAS VOCES MÁS BELLAS QUE SE PUEDEN ESCUCHAR-

  • to me she is every bit the equal to my other top diva, Maria Callas, Not that i am purist , far from it, but she has it all: Voice, poise, beauty, acting ability, and a stage presence that's just magical

  • God! how i love this woman in one word ....PERFECTION!!!!!!

  • such a good piece of music, such a good composer, such a good singer and damage by a video that insults all what good music is about.

  • me gusta esta cancion y me gusta la artista tambien

  • So beautiful...but I just closed my eyes and listened. I did not watch the video, I confess. I feel only peace and beauty, no desire to critique, no desire to do anything but listen to this over and over....

  • Great voice. Love the way she sings it very much.

    However, the composition of the video could have been significantly better, IMO.

    The pictures of Anna are beautiful, but, for me, the mood of the video somehow is not sufficiently compatible with the mood of the music. I prefer just to hear it without watching. :)

  • I also love how all who have commented are watching this. And enjoying it. I searched it tonight, not expecting to even find this aria. And there are several versions. How cool. I still play vinyl. I don't even have an ipod, ipad, etc. But I love YouTube for music. And fans like you. XOXOXOXO everybody. God Bless You!

  • Dvorak rocks.

  • I love to watch her sing. She's a package of talents to be sure. All together, I thouroughly approve!

  • I like this video. It is clearly an attempt to appeal to a wider, mainstream audience, i.e. a music video like rock and country artists do.  Don' be such tight asses out there. The music is good. The singing is good. Anna is beautiful. Why not try to share it with a new audience?

  • Yes, I agree that this video is unintentionally hilarious but I love this piece of music so much (I think I would like it if Elmer Fudd sang it) and I like her voice. Really do. I go to the Met frequently and so have seen her act and sing and she is fabulous at both. Perhaps I am not a purist--I love imperfect but expressive voices. Her voice has a lot of weight, it's not brittle. It toys a bit with the music.

  • 1Victorinus... I understand your statement, but I like both... correct, the sound-mix does not help Dvorak genious... but hey, it is YouTube. :) Cant wait to see Anna in Aix-en-Provence Summer Festival of Classical Music... right, with or without seeing her legs... it is her voice that charms me first. :) Best would be to see Anna do a DVD-box of 16 DVDs... :)

  • SUUUUUPPAAAA HD QWALITTTEEE

  • This video is shameful. Not because we are able to check out Ms Netrebko's great legs. I'm a leg man myself, and thoroughly enjoyed looking at them, but because the video ignores the gorgeous music of Dvorak in order to show us Ms Netrebko's physique. Why not make two videos? One of Ms Netrebko's physical attributes, and another one of her singing the aria on a stage with an orchestra. I would watch both and enjoy them both. Joe Carbia, Miami, Fl

  • Nice floatie...

    

  • SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SHE SING SO BEAUTIFUL TOO !! I LOVE ANNA , I HAVE SEEN HER SHOW .

  • Que poco elaborado el video para esa canción e iterpretación tan hermosas. Me parecen vulgares esas escenas de erotismo huachaca al lado de lo artístico.

  • The purpose of interpretation is to let it sing or let it play as if the one who is singing or playing wasn't there. Anna Netrebko approached this ideal of all interprets much closer then anyone else before her. No matter how disputable is her czech no matter how stupid the video is she is the best interpret of this song ever. I pray for people like Netrebko or Hilary Hahn. Their interpretation is: ideal. Listen to same piece with any and all others in a row. It will lead you back to this page!

  • @robertfuchsmusician have you listened to S.Hauser's interpretation on cello? Breath-taking

  • LOL! this completely takes away from what the song is about. Doesn't seem at all like she's singing to the moon. Still, the colorful floaty device adds a nice touch.

  • @Puppyizzy I agree with you completely. People just seem to have a knee-jerk reaction that Netrebko is a brilliant singer. I think the empress has no clothes and people just don't see that she isn't all that wonderful.

  • @pucciniverdi777 I think she has some talent, she has a beautiful tone, but I just found this video hilarious as well as confusing and bizarre.

  • @Puppyizzy She has made a number of "music videos" with strange imagery. It all seems very commercial. I liked her tone when I first heard her some years ago, but I find that of late her tone has darkened in a way that is not pleasing to my ears.

  • Awesome.:*.

  • Holy mackerel!!!

  • Mystical, true bliss !!!

  • heart touching

  • It's too beautiful.

  • An ultimate sophisticated lady!

  • Bravissima!

  • Please listen to Milada Subrtova sing this aria....this here just doesn't do it for me. Sorry :(

  • Comment removed

  • bravissima!

  • How can a woman be that hot and sing so beautiful at the same time? I can't understand it.

  • @soullessSiIence Good question: Talent, genius plus: hard, hard, hard work shaping that voice, learning music, discipline without end. That's what artists do, and often for little or no reward, because in this Philistine world of ours, we only reward the glorified bean counters of our aimless industries.

  • Whoa. I was not prepared for the existence of opera music videos, but okay, I can deal. Netrebko sounds great. More importantly, where can I get a swimsuit like that?

  • nice video, don't know what it is about. So that bird is on her moons and therefore her mate has to stroke a door handle? While she whines about football in a pond? Might be wrong...

  • She is nowhere as good as Renee Fleming!

  • Well, it's a bizarre video idea, but she does a lovely job vocally. Was some of it post-synced and dubbed in? Surely it would be hard to sing lying on one's stomach on an air mattress!

  • @SebastianBach99

    well... probably it was dubbed in afterwards, because it's an album recording and everything, but if you've seen her Traviata, you'd notice how she manages to sing (amazingly beautiful) on here back, or while lying on the floor, or while other people were carrying her in the air. She says it's something you can learn with time, but I think it's also something you eihter have or you don't

    and she definitely has it :)

  • man...there are some BRUTAL comments here

    f**king snobs, just because something isn't to your taste

  • @phunkjunkie68

    I totally agree. It may not be the best video Ever, but Opera is seriously hard to make a music video out of and they did a decent job. It makes me sick that people have no respect for hard work.

  • Great arse, bad singing, tasteless video. Just what I expect from her!

  • mhmhmhm....i like it..still waiting for "shaking that ass" dancers too..matter of time i presume..

  • Anna Netrebko veľmi pekne spieva, je to niečo úžasné a dokonalé. Tlieskam.

  • rubber bath toy and girlie guy... oh dear,

    but otherwise like...

  • Comment removed

  • Nabrocco she has great voice but rubber bath toy bad choice- they should put her on a reed boat.

    Andy Nabrocco- best Ukranian Soproanos, mucho gusto spectacuallllleir la puta grande

  • WOW! I never knew opera could be so sexy!!!

  • @recordman64 retard

  • Netrebko doing soft porn? not surprised!

  • @NEBESHIKU This isn't like any soft porn i've seen ;)

  • @NomNomSpongeBobNom The stuff you've seen must not be as hardcor and sleazy as this. NEtrebko kind of looks like the girls from two girls one cup.

  • I really like Anna - interesting video!

  • This wonderful Ukrainian singer is both beautiful and has a fabulous voice! Bravo!

  • @MsOzerianka She's Russian

  • @NomNomSpongeBobNom Near the end you can notice her accent. it's wonderful.

  • i hate the guy

  • I do love the song, and I don't see what's wrong with her assuming her sensuality and beauty in a bathing suit. (I mean, for God's sake, even Maria Callas had such pictures that should have caused a much bigger ''scandal'' back then than today). Besides the whole theme of the opera Rusalka is centered around water and sea creatures, so it only makes sense that she is in the water at the moonlight. And for an opera singer, it would be quite grotesque to sing while splashing around.

  • Is she really on an inflatable raft? Cannot take this seriously.

  • @SenorCyprian that inflatable is a little over the top. But I love this song

  • @bbcowboy39 Oh yeah, the song is above reproach, as is her singing, but this seems like an excuse to get her in a bathing suit. It looks like it was conceived for a high school music appreciation assignment.

  • omg, its in my language, but its hard to understand.. love this song

  • lyrics part1

    Silver moon upon the deep dark sky

    Through the vast night pierce your rays

    This sleeping world you wander by

    Smiling on men's homes and ways

    Oh moon ere past you glide, tell me

    Tell me, oh where does my loved one bide

    Tell him, oh tell him, my silver moon

    Mine are the arms that shall hold him

  • lyrics part2

    That between waking and sleeping he may

    Think of the love that enfolds him

    Light his path far away, light his path

    Tell him, oh tell him who does for him stay

    Human soul, should it dream of me, Let my memory wakened be.

    Moon, moon, oh do not wane, do not wane

  • I fell in love with opera with this aria.

  • i'm currently addicted to her voice

    

  • @leowyldemi - I agree, after I heard Anna I can enjoy no other soprano any more. Nobody has such fantastic voice with that marvelous tone, such incredible stage presence and magnificent musicality. She is the best of the best! Take care.

  • @FrogsLeaping

    No you are wrong ; if we really have to use such a vocabulary, the reigning queen when it comes to this aria is called ANNA NETREBKO.

    But we're in XXI century and our is not the century of King and Queens, I hope.

  • @ad80ad it is always the century of queens and kings, regardless of what reigning name you give them

  • Not bad but Lucia Popp is the reigning queen when it comes to this aria - this version is a bit too thick sounding to my ears and lacks lyricism in some key places in the aria.

  • Envy and arrogance are mortal sins. I look forward to hearing her in La Boheme in Copenhagen December 16th:-)

  • OK, folks, eeeeeasy. This odd set of videos ("The Woman, The Voice") was made in San Francisco. It was done for publicity purposes only, but Anna became such a hit the compilation was released to the public. For comparison, look for some of Renée Fleming's EARLY footage, when she was a tad plump...

  • stupid. i just watched renee fleming's version, so incredible. and then we see this lady floating on an airmatress. just laaaaame

  • Wow... people actually pay to attend a concert where she's the singer?

    How painfully dry, harsh and off key all this is.

  • i really hate netrebko's singing. i think with more practice she could be better. anyways, i happen to have a version of this aria sung by netrebko and its surprisingly acceptable. not as good as popp, but for netrebko-standards, its pretty good.

  • @txnFactor You might like the version of the Song to the moon by Frederica von Stade. It's also on YouTube and is positively brilliant.

  • The caressing the phallic door handle is just too much.  The whole thing is just trash, trash, trash. Anna: shame on you.

  • @9from7 or Renee Fleming

  • the best song for tonight's full moon 24082010

  • This leaves me breathless!

  • Zlí jazykové tvrdí, že Anna má přetrénovaný hlas. Není to pravda. Její hlas prostě fenomenální!

  • beautiful song sung beautifully by a very beautiful woman she has it all i just love her to bits xx

  • what's to compare to Callas?? Anna is sexy, modern and refreshing in the world of over-done opera styles.

  • 安娜奈瑞贝科-德沃夏克-宋代到月球

  • Совершенство

  • She is a wonderful performer but there is something odd about her voice that i just can't pick out..

  • @judithequalsmusic  She doesn't always sing in tune.

    Check out Lucia Popp singing the same aria.

  • @nycsym

    Oh,it is not Lucia Popp,unfortunately....

  • prachtig

  • The video and sound quality is dreadful I'm sad to say. Will look for a better quality video.

  • Thanks for posting this video.

  • she sings it definitely perfectly but what has happened to opera that the singers have to perform in panties.....?

  • I say goodbye to these pages of Anna Netrebko. I am not available right now, But I thank you for caring enough to write and reply . I am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message if so you wish it. If I do Not return your message, you are one of those changes.

  • What a stupid video for an opera singer!! Garbage, simply more garbage from Netrebko. When will the critics get rid of her completely? She is ruining oera, get her out!!!!

  • People, do no mind hammer55292 (former striker) - he is a you tube idiot and everyone knows that.

    Striker - you are going to die a terrible violent death - you deserve it for insulting an innocent  baby and a great soprano.

    yuyubnbmhkhjfdgdfd yttyh hjhjhjh;

    ?????? |||||||||||||||||||| !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  • @09avenger Who's the great soprano that I insulted??? La Divina of all Divinas, Maria Callas is gone, and I would NEVER insult her. There is no other GREAT SOPRANO!!!!

  • @hammer55292 i almost agree with that, although there are other greats, just not quite a divine... eg elisabeth schwarzkopf, and if you want someone still alive kiri te kanawa

  • @hammer55292 Maria Callas may be gone from this earth but her legacy lives on! this video is ridiculous! since when did the classical world stoop this low to make a music video?

  • @sweetaztecangel69 The name of the game is, MONEY.

  • @hammer55292 lol! money for crap? lol!

  • @sweetaztecangel69 Are you sure it's a music video and not some stupid director's "concept"? There are plenty of productions today that look like this. BTW - I don't remember Callas ever singing in La Wally.

  • @jewelmarkess Im positive....if Anna cared about opera she would have said something....so its pretty obvious where her mind is..and Callas IMO sang the best interpretation of Turandot :]

  • @sweetaztecangel69 This is not from Turandot, this is from Rusalka by Dvorak (a typo in my post above), a role Callas has never sung in her life, so why compare? Anna does it beautifully. As to "saying something" - are you serious? These directors do what they want, singers today have very little say. Now, I don't know if it's a production or a silly video. But it could well be one of those Eurotrash productions...

  • @jewelmarkess I know this is Rusalka Im just saying that Maria Callas has done a better performance in many roles Anna will NEVER be able to..actually singers/artists do have input on the videos they create....they are the ones in it therefore they have the say in the direction they take

  • @sweetaztecangel69 Yes, Callas was great and had unsurpassed artistry, I don't argue with you on that. But Callas is dead and opera is a live experience and some of us actually like to go to opera and not to restrict ourselves to old recordings. As to this - if it's a video, maybe it'll get one person interested in opera and then it's worth it. If it is an opera production, then directors reign today at least in Europe.

  • @jewelmarkess she isnt dead...her legacy lives on and will continue to live on till the end of time....there isnt a opera singer thats interested me since Callas that I have loved that rich vocal quality from....it wont get any one interested in opera..it will however gain Netrebko another fan if she decides to do a dirty movie

  • @sweetaztecangel69 Then you are missing on the magical experience of listening to live UNAMPLIFIED voices. Not to mention experiencing a complete opera, with its combination of different voices, story, drama, instrumental music. Callas was great and I love her, but I love going to opera. While not as expressive as Callas, in the right repertory (like this opera) Netrebko is amazing.

  • @sweetaztecangel69 It helped get me curious about opera a few years back. I can't say that it was the only factor, but it helped. Of course, the video is corny but when I first saw this, the music struck me. And isn't that what's important?

  • @09avenger he is just sick...

  • @09avenger You're going to die a worse death, by rotting cancer, for insulting a DEAD, DEFENSELESS WOMAN, who is the greatest soprano of humanity. A soprano that when heard live at La Scala, over ten times, she was considered of MYTHOLOGY, she was so magnificent. Not good, not very good, not great, but in the sphere of inhuman sound.

  • she was miss russia (or something like that)

  • May be this is not the best clip, but Anna's voice is still amazing and her interpretations is a true masterpiece!

  • I agree. Love the music, but I cannot help but think of Marilyn Monroe in a hollywood swimming pool because of the swim suit and blow-up shell.

  • Very cheap show, for someone in her position. She is on her way down professionally.

  • Yeah, it is kind of silly.

  • utterly lovely music.  wastefully silly video.

  • Traviata - Ms. Netrebko displayed ample power, coloratura bravura with a marvelous tone Having recently heard Natalie Dessay sing Sempre Libera at the Met Gala, one was impressed by the legato nature of Netrebko's portray in contrast to Dessay's intentional staccato, fragmented phrasing interpretation. Having also seen photos of Fleming in her current Violetta at the ROH, one can only marvel at Netrebko's resilience, endurance and commitment to bel canto opera.

  • RUSSIAN KITSCH......GO HOME

  • SHE'S HOT I LOVE HER.

  • she's the love of my life!

  • Thanks for the upload.

  • Whenever I hear Anna I feel she's connecting me beyond the earth, with the unknown, with the heaven!

  • I see Pavarotti did a great job with bringing opera to masses. This presentation just follows his path. Some people don't like it but I don't have problem with it.

  • i agree.
